‘The Nymphomaniac’ Adds Willem Dafoe and Udo Kier

Willem Dafoe and Udo Kier have joined the growing cast of director Lars von Trier's The Nymphomaniac. The actors are the final pieces of an immense ensemble cast of more than 60 featured actors.

Charlotte Gainsbourg stars as a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, who starts telling the sexually-charged story of her life to a man (Stellan Skarsgård) who finds her left for dead in an alley. Other new additions to the cast include Jean-Marc Barr, Caroline Goodall, Kate Ashfield, Saskia Reeves, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Michael Pas and Omar Shargawi.

The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group is lured to a secluded European Castle under the guise of a promised "fantasy weekend." And as they read from an obscure storybook, a nefarious tale of avarice is reenacted for their entertainment. However, they are unaware that they have been gathered for their own personal and befitting executions.

In the course of one night, identities will be revealed, destinies met and a poetic justice of the macabre will be maniacally served, as a merciless Knight resurrects after 700 years to fulfill his vow and bestow a blood-thirst reprisal upon his enemies' reanimated spirits.
